COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThe lower gravity cousin to Rochefort 10. Nicknamed "Spéciale" (’The Special’), this beer is the most recent production. The Rochefort 8 has a more tawny colour and a more pronounced aroma, with an even richer fruitiness (a slight undertone of fig?) and a little more spiced dryness, like that of a cake, which gives a balanced finish to the final notes.

Bottle. Big tan off-white head very persistent. Hazy dark brown with reddish hues colour. Aroma is very ripe fruit, prune, with cocoa an caramel tinge and sligth sour milk hint. Taste is fruity (peach, plum and prune), caramel, cocoa, somehow spicy with sweet acid finish. Full body, high carbonation, medium oily. Second similar rate tasting two different bottles bougth in two different shops. For me, not as good as most people rate it.
